10 Year Warranty
Liquid Propane (TK-1-P) & Natural Gas (TK-1-N)
Beachside Lighting warranties its conical TK-1-N and TK-1-P torches to be free from manufacturing defect for ten (10) years from the date of purchase. This includes deterioration due to corrosion from external elements on the copper cone, base and other brass fittings. This excludes the perforated stainless steel screen immediately surrounding the burner at top, as long term deterioration due to heat and corrosion is normal and is dependent on frequency of use and proximity to the ocean.
Citronella / Kerosene (TK-1-K)
Beachside Lighting warranties its conical TK-1-K torch to be free from manufacturing defect for ten (10) years from the date of purchase. This includes deterioration due to corrosion from external elements on the copper cone, base and other brass fittings. While the fittings are warrantied, it is the responsibility of the owner to routinely separate the top “wickholder” from the torch, and the top cap from the “wickholder”, especially in a near-ocean location. This warranty excludes the cotton wick, which is a replaceable item.
Any above warranty is void if the fixture is not installed in accordance to specific fixture instructions, has been modified, or is used in a non-standard application. Should a fixture need to be submitted for return, a Return Goods Authorization (RGA) is required from Beachside Lighting. The repair or replacement of a fixture’s component(s) or entire fixture is at Beachside Lighting’s discretion. Any labor needed to remove or re-install the fixture is the responsibility of the purchaser and is not covered in this warranty. Discoloration from soot is normal at areas surrounding the flame. Beachside Lighting makes no guarantee as to the extent of this discoloration. Copper and brass patina naturally. Beachside Lighting will not make any guarantee as to the rate or extent of this natural process. While this legalese is a requirement to protect the manufacturer in the above-mentioned instances, any of our client’s concerns are of great importance to Beachside Lighting.

FAQs
What kind of gas does a gas tiki torch use?Meira Leonard2021-07-23T09:48:08-10:00
A gas tiki torch will typically use Propane (LP), or Natural Gas. The desired gas type needs to be specified. To achieve the same flame height, each gas type varies in its incoming pressure, BTU consumption, as well as internal orifice sizes.
How much gas does a Natural Gas tiki torch consume?Meira Leonard2021-07-23T09:47:32-10:00
Although the incoming gas pressure for a low pressure line can vary, at a typical 7” water column (.25 psi), a natural gas tiki torch will consume roughly 22,500 BTUs, producing a 12” – 15” high flame.
How much gas does a Propane Gas tiki torch consume?Meira Leonard2021-08-10T16:51:16-10:00
At a typical low pressure setting of an 11” water column (.40 psi), a propane gas tiki torch will consume roughly 14,600 BTUs, producing a 12” – 15” flame.
How long will a single propane gas tiki torch burn using a 20 lb tank?Meira Leonard2021-08-10T16:50:29-10:00
A tiki torch consuming 14,600 BTUs at a typical 11” water column and fed by a full 20 lb. propane tank, also referred to as a “grill” cylinder, should last more than 28 hours.
What type of tiki torch will last longest?Meira Leonard2021-08-10T16:47:53-10:00
A tiki torch made from a corrosion resistant metal or alloy will last longest. This includes copper, brass, or a 300 series stainless steel.
What tiki torches are used at Hawaii’s hotels and resorts?Meira Leonard2021-08-10T16:46:20-10:00
Most torches at Hawaii’s hotels and resorts are gas torches, using either synthetic natural gas (SNG) on O’ahu, or propane (LP) gas on other islands. Torches are typically either a standard conical shape, made from spun copper and supplied with brass fittings; or a decorative “Malama” series, which features various artistic designs burned into a cylinder made from 304 stainless steel, also supplied with other brass fittings.
What types of commercial grade tiki torches are available?Meira Leonard2021-07-23T09:57:34-10:00
While there are manufacturers of specialized custom torches, some manufacturers offer cataloged items which include conical, cylindrical, and “bowl” shaped gas torches, set to operate on either natural or propane gas.
What makes a tiki torch “commercial” grade?Meira Leonard2021-08-10T16:44:21-10:00
Any tiki torch built to withstand nightly use, including for hotel, resort, and restaurant applications would be considered commercial grade, but would require its components to be constructed out of corrosion resistant materials, such as copper, brass, and stainless steel.
How much light will a gas tiki torch provide?Meira Leonard2021-08-10T16:43:10-10:00
The amount of light given off by a gas tiki torch is dictated by the flame height, which is dependent upon the gas consumption. A traditional conical tiki torch at a 2.3-meter mounting height, and 15” flame with no wind will deliver approximately .48 footcandles (5.17 lux) at a 1 meter radius from the pole. At a 5-meter radius, the light level drops to .13 footcandles (1.4 lux).
How wind resistant are gas tiki torches?Meira Leonard2021-08-10T16:41:55-10:00
Wind resistance of gas tiki torches is dependent upon the gas consumption. A typical natural gas torch using 22,500 BTUs / hour (producing a 12” – 15” flame height with no wind) has remain lit after being tested in 40 mph winds at CSA’s Irvine, California facility. However, winds greater than 15 mph will reduce the brilliance of the flame, with the wind possibly making it difficult to even enjoy the outdoors at that level.
How often does the Kerosene / Citronella torch wick need to be advanced?Meira Leonard2021-08-16T10:16:41-10:00
With every use. Start off the evening with about 1.5” (38mm) of cotton wick about the brass wickholder fitting.
How long will a Kerosene / Citronella tiki torch burn in one evening?Meira Leonard2021-08-16T10:17:52-10:00
A Kerosene / Citronella tiki torch will burn 5 to 6 hours in one evening, with the limit being reached as the cotton wick burns down. With the wick raised approximately 1.5” (38mm) above the top brass fitting, the cotton torch wick will burn down throughout the evening, even with torch fuel still in the torch.
How many evenings of use will the Kerosene / Citronella torch’s fuel capacity allow.Meira Leonard2021-08-16T10:18:43-10:00
At 4 – 5 hours of nightly use, the Kerosene / Citronella tiki torch’s capacity should give 5 – 7 evenings of use.
